G'day all , Merry Christmas by the way to all fellow AFF'ers. The night they ran the 60 Minutes story about Holden's closure , i missed it for some reason but i saw it on YT a day or two ago. I really admire the way Holden tried to alleviate the closure as best they could and the story suggested that 80% of the factory workers either retired or found other work. Not too bad all things considered.
Anyone know how Ford and Toyota workers fared in that way ? With Holden , Toyota and Ford all part of local manufacturing history now all we can do is appreciate what we got , and enjoy cars that so many of us currently own or have owned in the past. Enjoy the past and present for some great stuff but we may well lament the future in that regard. |

Yep got it... Though had some issues with the Car I was meant to get. Its a long story that irritates me BUT I ended up with the same car, but in Light My Fire Orange... Loving it...
As for the photo's of it on the line, I had meant to ask for them but, to be honest, my lifes been a bit nuts of late and I hadn't spoken to the dealer about them.. Will have to get onto it.. If I get them I'll throw one up...

Nah mate, the bloke who was buying my Mazda lost his job and backed out at the last minute... I asked the dealer to be patient and give me a few weeks to find another buyer but they just told me they had another buyer for the Grey One, the sale of my Mazda was a condition on the contract and they sold the car to the other guy.. Was it legal for them to do this? No idea but they did and with my boy sick I didn't put up to much of a fight... Found another buyer within 4 days and went with a different dealer... Had a choice of White, Black, Grey and Orange in a Manual.. Hadnt seen an Orange SSV Redline before.. Once I saw the colour I was sold... Managed to score an awesome Deal anyway... The Rocker issue didn't affect my one but I do know that Holden put a stop on all affected cars from being delivered... My New one was built 2 August though so maybe I will double check...
